Question
Ghost and Nginx doesn't work properly with each other

Asked by troyalekson
I tried to add certificates to my subdomain cms.trkohler.com and attach it to Ghost CMS. I followed this guide with some workarounds on the go: https://robertnealan.com/setting-up-ssl-for-ghost-on-digitalocean-with-lets-encrypt/
I setted up successfully certs for my subdomain. However, I lost all my ghost urls attached.
If you visit: https://cms.trkohler.com/ you’ll see the empty page with DO prompt to set up the site.
I’ve already did this before, of course. Visiting /ghost/ doesn’t help.
ghost ls shows me ghost instance is running in production.
ghost config url is setted to https://cms.trkohler.com
nginx -t under the root showing everything is ok
what must went wrong?

Hi there,
I believe that with Ghost there is a built-in implementation of Let’s Encrypt, so adding an Nginx instance in front of your Ghost service is not necessary.
You could set up the SSL with:
sudo -i -u ghost-mgr
ghost setup ssl
For more information on all ghost commands I could suggest taking a look at the official documentation here:
